ENGIE

A creative combination of colourways from Forbo Flooring Systems’ Tessera Layout and Outline carpet tile ranges have been installed throughout the newly refurbished ENGIE offices in Rotherham, turning the two-storey space into a bright and re-energised workplace.

Energy, services and regeneration specialist, ENGIE, enlisted the help of Julie Poulter Interior Design (JPID) to transform its offices into a contemporary and collaborative working environment, which needed to reflect the company’s brand and colour palette, while adhering to its brand values. The creativity of the ENGIE flooring scheme has led to the project being awarded Commended in the Fly Forbo 2018/2019 competition.

Julie Poulter of JPID said: “The brief was to create a design that incorporated an open plan working environment, while promoting employee wellbeing. Due to the nature of ENGIE’s business, which involves providing sustainable energy, it was important for them that the new office design was environmentally sound. For this reason, I knew that Forbo was the ideal manufacturer to liaise with, as they are committed to creating better environments via the 4 R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Renew and Recycle) and their products use recycled content in the manufacturing process.

In the reception area, Forbo’s Coral Welcome in Blue Lagoon was used in the entrance for its contemporary black and blue linear design and rich, deep pile which offers the aesthetics of a luxury carpet. The entrance matting flows effortlessly with the Tessera Layout carpet tiles in Ice Pop, Calcium and Alloy that were installed in the reception area in a triangular abstract pattern and acted as the perfect backdrop for the bespoke designed oxygen-producing desk in the centre of the space. Renowned for their aesthetic styling and outstanding performance, the dynamic colour palette of the Layout carpet tiles is ideal for even the most demanding of traffic environments – not least busy reception areas.
